agreed. Best kick ever landed.

Pettis and Bendo both are going to challenge in the UFC, IMO.

I agree.

A lot of people have said that even the best WEC LWs are going to be mid-level at best, but I think they'll be contenders. Maybe not title holders, but they won't get chewed up.

If Edgar wins, I think Pettis can give him a lot of trouble. I think Bendo/Cerrone/Pettis/Shalorus are all going to do well.

Did you guys notice Henderson's "the judges gave it to him" in a "I WON THAT FUCKING FIGHT" tone?

I didn't see it. But, realistically, he could have been given rd 1,2, and 4 and it wouldn't have been a total robbery.

Ya I thought he sounded like a sore loser when interviewed. I give him the benefit of the doubt. close fight in his hometown and just being embarrassed after that kick. id be pissed too.

Re: WEC 53 Discussion

That might be my favorite fight ever.

it is definitely up there for me too. Top five for sure. I mean, it was just back and forth, I was jumping ot of my seat when Bendo took Pettis' back in round 4 and nearly choked him. Then when Pettis landed that kick, I was just floored at the audacity. I was just like- how dare you.

Ostentatious- that's what it was.

I honestly had it 4-1 Pettis. But of course I'm biased as fuck.

Re: WEC 53 Discussion

yea i had money on pettis as well. tied up after 2. then after he had bendos back the whole third round I thought no way can he come back from that type of exhaustion. rd 4 I thought fight was over once bendo had his hands locked on the neck. rd 5 - amazing

Dude. That shit is maybe, literally, the most awesome move I've ever seen that was successful in MMA.

Me too. I was like FUCK! And Pettis got sooooo close. Then he got out of it and I thought that an angel was on my side.

Re: WEC 53 Discussion

I had Henderson winning 1 and 4, Pettis 2,3, and 5. <<i am pretty sure that is the general consensus though

What do you guys think of Cole Miller vs Donald Cerrone if that fight happens?

I actually like Cole Miller but I think Cerrone fucks him up.

Where is Miller better? Standing? On the ground?

Re: WEC 53 Discussion

I think Cole Miller has the grappling edge.
